Since the second half of the
1980s Sister Elija Boßler has photographed survivors of the Dachau concentration camp who have returned
to the place where they were subjected to violent internment. Many of the
survivors visited the adjacent Carmelite Convent “Heilige Blut” or indeed
stayed there under the care of the Carmelite nuns.

As time passed, the number of
survivors who attended liberation ceremonies and told their stories started to
dwindle. And so Elija Boßler began to photograph the guests.

Over the next 30 years she
has taken numerous, very striking portraits of people from a variety of nations.

For the first time a
selection of 30 photographs is to be shown at the Dachau Memorial Site. The
biographies of the portrayed will be told in a catalogue. A video featuring
interviews with contemporary witnesses complements the exhibition.
